| I have tried to grow them in the past, and I'm sorry to say I had absolutely no luck in getting them to do anything but sprout and croak! But thats not to say you won't have success, for some reason thats just one that I had no luck with. I assume we are talking about the same species...mine were himalayan blue poppies. I really had high hopes for them, they are sooo pretty! I would be very interested in hearing about how you do with them though...keep us posted! |

| Himalayan blue poppies is what they are. I have 200 seeds. So I have lots to trial and error with. |

| The link might be useful. Do you know which meconopsis you have? Some are easier from seed than others. Is it M betonicifolia? I think that's one of the easier ones, although most are a bit temperamental. They require very different conditions from the true poppies and are happiest in cool wet climates - remember they are from the Himalayas. Good luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Meconopsis cultivation.

| H betonicifolia! I have been reading up on growing them! not sure I can duplicate the conditions they require her in Utah. I will try, might end up trading these seeds for some I can grow here. Will give it a try! |
